Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Assuming fair weather - a slightly hillier ride this evening with some easy off-road sections too. We will be heading to Childrey via Denchworth and the bridleway from West Challow. We'll return via the bridleway and track to East Challow and along the canal towpath. Two short stretches along the A417 with right turns. |

Report:Although it was a bright, sunny evening, a very fresh north-westerly breeze made us work harder than usual on our way to Denchworth. That was the worst of it, fortunately. Thereafter were able to enjoy the beautiful evening and the glorious colours of late spring countryside.We followed the planned route to Childrey but then a change of plan for the return - due to heavy overnight rain we avoided the canal and came back via Goosey and Denchworth instead. We all enjoyed the downhill and runout on the B-road down to the A417. With the wind behind us from Goosey, it was definitely a good decision. We stopped briefly to admire the meadows on Goosey green and then sailed back to Grove in beautiful evening light. Another enjoyable ride. Steve S | ||
